If you have a hobby outside of your main business try to market that for a while on Facebook.

Sometimes getting into something new will help break the monotony and spark new marketing ideas that can be applied to your main endeavor.

As more users are accessing their online activities using their smartphones, marketers continue to leverage micro-moments to capture their audience’s attention and fulfill their instant decisions.
Whenever a customer searches for something, looks for a nearby shop, wants to finalize a task or makes a purchase, marketers can get an advantage of these types of micro-moments to create targeted content and advertising.

In order for marketers to succeed in using micro-moments, they should learn the basic practices of each one. Let’s take for example the “I-want-to-go-moments”. Jewelry stores can take advantage of such a moment by capitalizing on “near me” searches, which have grown 2X between 2015 and 2017 according to Google. This requires storefronts to optimize their locations on their websites or mobile apps. Furthermore, they can go even beyond that by making ads for their store’s location or popular products to improve their visibility in search engines(google) and reach their customers at the appropriate time.

#Uses of Facebook May Be Peaking
The good news is that Facebook is still currently the no. 1 social media platform in the United States as well as India with an impressive number of users being over the age of 65. So for marketing that targets a senior demographic, there simply isn’t a good platform. On the other hand, Facebook had a difficult 2018, with a data breach that affected approx 14 million users, increase a reputation for being the platform of choice for weaponized, political propaganda, and a continuing drop in popularity with modern demographics, so much so that many people feel the relationship between the public and Facebook may be changing.

It's very important for future digital marketers to really look at who their target market may be, because Facebook may be unsuitable for some campaigns, especially as it continues to trend downwards with younger demographics. Make no mistake, Facebook is still massive, and many Peoples continue to check in on it, but be more judicious with who you are marketing to, and make sure they are still on Facebook, or you are targeting the wrong social media platform.

#Instagram is a Hit with the youngster

Fortunately for Facebook, their massive threat is no threat at all since they bought Instagram. The image and video-based social media platform are optimized to make it very easy for users to share photos and videos from their mobile, which is now the most ubiquitous computing device on the planet and rapidly growing as the computer of choice for the general people.

Instagram’s meteoric rise has already passed 1 billion users, an impressive achievement. That means it is one of the best growing social media platforms and, perhaps more importantly, maximum of its user-base is the coveted younger demographic, especially under 30, that Facebook is losing now, due to its reputation as the social media platform for “old people.”
#Video Is a Must- Captured Live Videos
Video is winning the race of most successful medium of marketing in 2019 and this is set to continue into 2019. This makes sense, because the average attention span of users is short, and most people would prefer to watch a video than read a blog post.

Live video has been a wide factor in marketing because it directly connects engaged customers to products and services. If you want to catch customer attention then you will most likely find them on social media. Platforms like Facebook Live have given marketers the possibility to be in the face of their target market.

Next year, live video feeds will increase, but the important aspect going forward will be originality. Interactive video and imaginative video marketing that encourages user or consumer engagement will quickly outpace video for the sake of moving pictures. Consumers become bored quickly- brands that use video to engage and excite peoples will win.

The significance of video cannot be understated according to Hubspot. Just simply adding a video to an e-mail boosts click-through rate by a staggering 200–300 percents, and placing one on a landing page increases conversion rate by 80 percent.

So make sure you do not fall behind in the video arena. In almost every area of marketing, it outperforms other mediums. Look at your business activities and resolve the best way to get video marketing incorporated into your strategy.
